than a year ago. analysts expect the rise to stop well before four bucks gallon and average well under last year's record prices. u.s. pickup truck sales are expected to soar this year, topping 1.7 million. that's because there are lots of new model this is year and also an increase in new home construction. that's good news for detroit. pickups haul in most of the earnings for the companies. 90% of earnings for ford and two-thirds for general motors. pizza hut today introduces pizza sliders. they're smaller than personal pies. they'll be offered in boxes of three or nine. each can have a different topping. the idea came out of pizza huts in india. the chain thinks they'll help combat the pizza fatigue that sets in in the u.s. after the super bowl. that's what we need. more pizza in different types of ways. >> i've noticed. you snack a lot healthier, more healthily than i do on this shift. that's great news for me. >> maybe some doughnuts.

staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, including celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death.

patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. do not take celebrex if you've had an asthma attack, hives, or other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and find an arthritis treatment for you. visit celebrex.com and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion. in case you missed it, punxsutawney phil predicts there will be an early spring many year. yes, amen to that. he did not see his shadow when he merged from a long winter's nap. he's not always right, though. last year, he predicted more winter weather when it was actually quite warm. >> how could a cutie like that be wrong? now for a look at the morning road conditions. a wet ride around seattle. snow-covered passes in the cascades and northern rockies.
